Located in the Red Rock National Conservation Area near Las Vegas, First Creek Falls can be reached by a nice, easy 4-mile hike across a dry desert valley surrounded by massive red and white sandstone cliffs. The trail is well-maintained in most parts. As you get closer to the falls, follow a narrow trail going down along the side of the wash until you reach the falls. The small waterfall drops into a big plunge pool cut into the rock, surrounded by lush, shady desert willows, cottonwood trees, and other trees. While the waterfall is dry most of the year, there is always a bit of water in the pool to the delight of birds and other animals.
Address: Red Rock National Conservation Area, 3205 State Rte 159, Las Vegas, NV 89161
